  • Johann Kleck & Victoria Failer, George S
    “Archaeologists - they gather up the facts, piece the jigsaw together, workout how we lived and find the buildings we lived in. But what we do, that’s different. We unearth the scattered memories, mine for stories, fill in the personality. We’re time travelers.” “The Detectorists,” Mackenzie Crook and Andrew Ellard, 2017 Dedicated to Uncle Pete (17 February 1928 – 13 August 2015) Preface In 2016 I received nine boxes of materials concerning the lives of the Kleck family from the mid- 19th century to the 1980s. It included documents, photographs, letters, both typed and handwritten, notebooks, cancelled checks, wills, and many other Kleck-related items. All of the materials had been accumulated by my uncle, Pete Kleck, for many years. In 2014, Pete called me and asked if I would take the materials and I told him I would. Less than a year later, in October 2015, Pete died. His son, Wayne, his widow, Patricia, and I had agreed that at some point the “Kleck Archives” would be forwarded to me for inspection, restoration as needed, suitable retention and organized for the Kleck family. Wayne, Patricia and I all appreciated Pete’s interest in preserving the story of the Klecks through the materials in those nine boxes. Wayne was diligent in his preparation of the materials for shipment and they were successfully transported halfway across the country. Since then I have been trying to identify, preserve and digitize the materials, with a definite priority given to older and more important documents and pictures. In most cases the items required interpretation and further research.

  • Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Exhumation in Central Europe – Localized Inversion Vs
    https://doi.org/10.5194/se-2020-183 Preprint. Discussion started: 11 November 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in Central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift Hilmar von Eynatten1, Jonas Kley2, István Dunkl1, Veit-Enno Hoffmann1, Annemarie Simon1 1University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Sedimentology and Environmental Geology, 5 Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany 2University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany Correspondence to: Hilmar von Eynatten ([email protected]) Abstract. Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

  • Speech in English (PDF, 48KB)
    Translation of advance text. The speech online: www.bundespraesident.de Berlin, 24.05.2011 page 1 of 5 Federal President Christian Wulff marking the informational and contact-building visit of the Diplomatic Corps to Hambach Castle on 24 May 2011 What a pleasure it is to visit Hambach Castle together. The German people’s striving for democracy and participation has deep roots in this place. The Hambach Festival, which took place here in late May 1832, laid a very important part of the foundations for what the Ger¬man people eventually achieved with the Basic Law of the Federal Republic in 1949 and reunification in 1989/90: unity and law and freedom. Twenty to thirty thousand people came to the ruined castle here for the speeches and songs of the Hambach Festival. They were demonstrating against the Congress of Vienna decisions of 1815, which were intended to suppress national, liberal and democratic tendencies. The Festival made Germany part of the unrest that had been sweeping through Europe since 1830, from the French to the Belgians, Poles and others. In the Palatinate, the discontent among the populace gathered around Philipp Siebenpfeiffer and Johann Wirth, who campaigned through Fatherland Associations for freedom of the press. Their call to attend the Hambach Festival found resonance in all sections of the population. Women, too, were expressly included in the invitation, since it was “a mistake and a stain”, as the invitation itself has it, for women “to be disregarded politically within the European order”. They wanted the Festival to provide a powerful expression of the political objective behind it: a unified Germany of free citizens enjoying equal rights within a united Europe, surrounded by self-determined peoples.

  • SEVEN CASTLE TOUR Mankind Obviously
    SEVEN CASTLE TOUR Mankind obviously needs superlatives. We choose one of the meaningful: 7 castles on a single day hike would be difficult to beat. However, if only the record sake laces your boots, you miss that the beauty of this tour is not dependent on the magic seven. Better is to enjoy the Palatine-Alsatian scene change, the quite hefty climbs and of course every one of all the 12 and 13 Century built castles in their distinctiveness. In the center of Schönau you will find a table for orientation and the signs to Wegelnburg [Red-Yellow bar until Maidenbrunnen (Maiden fountain). The long rise runs always on the south side of Sindelsberg in an easterly direction to the crossing at the Kaiser Wilhelm shelter. A narrow trail continues up to the Wegelnburg (572 m), the highest castle in the Palatinate. From here we see not only up to the northern Palatinate Forest and the Black Forest, but also to our next destinations Hohenbourg and Löwenstein, which are almost the at same height and are therefore in sight continuously and with little descends and ascends. Just in a yoke between Wegelnburg and Hohenbourg near the Maiden Well we cross the border to France, where we will hike during the next hours. The ruin Hohenburg (High Castle 553 m) offers a very nice observation deck with panoramic views over the Rhine valley and the northern Vosges and impresses with well-preserved details of castle ruins. a few minutes further south are the ruins of Löwenstein, which was destroyed in 1386, so that we find only a few remnants.
